Live Restaurant Review of the ABC Commissary, Trivia Contest, CarsLand info and more! Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #278 for the week of June 10, 2012. Join us around the table for a little different live restaurant review from Walt Disney World, as this week we experience our first live review at a counter-service restaurant in the parks. So join us as we stroll down Commissary Lane at Disney's Hollywood Studios, for our live lunch review of the ABC Commissary. We sample the menus for adults and kids, discuss the theming, value, options and more. I'll have the answer and winner for last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new one for your chance to win a Disney prize package. I'll explain why this week's show is a little shorter than usual as I am getting ready to bring you live, full coverage of the opening of CarsLand at Disney California Adventure Park in Disneyland later this week, so be sure and stay for the announcements and your voicemails at the end of the show.

Interview with Cindy Morgan (Lora/Yori from Tron), Trivia Contest and more! Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #277 for the week of June 3, 2012. 30 years ago, a Disney film was released that would forever change the science fiction genre, as well as animation, video gaming and the lives of many young geeks like myself. Smart, stylish and fun, the game grid of Tron was groundbreaking, and recently, Tron was reborn with the Tron: Legacy film (and Tronorail at Walt Disney World) in late 2010, ElecTRONica at Disneyland, and this week, the story continues on Disney XD with Tron: Uprising. One of the original film's stars was Cindy Morgan, who played the dual role of Lora and Yori, and she joins me this week in an exclusive interview. We talk about her career and roles in iconic films like Caddyshack, and of course, Tron, as she shares stories of the making of the films, the Tron phenomenon, her fans and much more. I'll have the answer and winner for last week's Walt Disney World Trivia Question of the Week, and pose a new one for your chance to win a Disney prize package. I'll have just a few quick announcements before playing some more of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ------------------------------------- THANK YOU for your support by voting WDW Radio Best Travel Podcast for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011! ------------------------------------- Visit http://WDWRadio.com for our Disney blog, videos, events and more!

I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #276 for the week of May 27, 2012.

I'll also ask you to share your favorite out of the way spot or nook as well.
